Unlocking Success: The Critique That Makes Magic with Self-Compassion

A frequent question I get asked when discussing self-compassion or hosting a workshop on the topic. Let us look at it-
We as a culture have been taught never to give up, to work hard towards our goal, to be open to suggestions, and to be critical of what we do. Now there is nothing inherently wrong about that kind of thinking, goals cannot be met until you work towards them. Until you receive feedback about a task and you are serious about it, you cannot progress.
